And I would love to see any of you there.

If I get to go, I'll let you know. Maybe we can meet up for lunch or something.

I am a photographer - just getting my business started - and my income isn't steady, yet. So it's hard for me to make larger purchases at the spur of the moment. But it's looking good now for having a little extra money for going and enjoying. And if I convince myself that I'll be buying yarn for Christmas gifts, maybe I can justify it.

you're probably right!!! I have a kh button that Chel made me that I'll put on my purse- and I'll think of something else identifying when the day get closer.

Mary I have my KH button too! And I agree that waving your card will not make you noticeable. Sorry!

I just got a $2 discount coupon "for a friend" for the market. I'll mail it to the first pm w/ addy for someone who is going! $2 off the general market admission fee.

Holly- I'll be looking at every woman's purse and knitting bag for a button.

I'm going to, no classes, just to the Market!

I'm in Baltimore County so it's an easy 30 minute drive or I may take the light rail. If I get DH to drop me off & pick me up, he can use the car all day, rather then me leaving it in a parking garage for $15/day. I'm just worried about dealing with bags and bags of yarn on the light rail ride home!! I was thinking of taking off Friday and going then, but now it's looking like that's impossible so it'll probably be Sunday.

I'll be there Sunday too! And Saturday ... no button, and I'll be waving the credit card too, but since that's not terribly noticeable ...

As for the many bags of yarn, my neighbor (who will be there too since we're sharing hotel costs) had a great suggestion. Get one of those shopping bag carts.

but then I might feel the need to fill it ......

Last year, while I waited for the market to open, I had the event brochure and went through marking the vendors I wanted to go to. "Ok, Blue Moon is at booth ***, go there first, etc."
Well, I just found the brochure for next week on the KnittingUniverse site (it's a pdf). I'm all set, watch out!

And they are going to be in Baltimore again next year....in November!
